“You should feed tonight. I can organize blood bags if you want,” Latham says,
Eli clears his throat.
“Oh right, I suppose another time,” Latham says, making me shift my gaze to Eli.
“He wants you to mark him now that you can. You’ll feed on Eli tonight,” Cyrus says.
“Why not just ask? I would have said yes,” I tell Eli.
“Because you’re easier to control while distracted,” Eli says.
My face heats when I get what he is saying.
“Can I watch?” Latham asks.
Cyrus hums, shaking his head.
“Latham, stop antagonizing her. She bites you, it will be your own fault,” Eli tells him.
“She’s not the only one who can bite. Besides, if she needs something to stuff her mouth with, I have the perfect thing,” Latham taunts.
I am not going to survive around this man. He is impossible.
“When will we be moving?”
“In a week. If I am moving the base, I’m best off doing it as quickly as possible. Bella will probably pitch a fit when we get back because I’ll have to adjust the entire floor she manages,” Cyrus says, and I chuckle.
Yes, Bella won’t like that. She’s apparently kept everything under a strict schedule and has recently moved to the tech floor, showing she is quite capable in her new position.
“This Bella, is she hot?” Latham asks.
“Human,” Eli says.
“I didn’t ask what species. I asked if she was hot.”
Cyrus and Eli don’t answer.
I roll my eyes, knowing they’re not answering because I’m sitting in front of them.
“Yes, Latham, she is gorgeous,” I answer him.
“But human, and no, you’re not fooling around with my employees,” Eli tells him.
“Why not? You did,” Latham says.
“Addie is our mate. She doesn’t count,” Cyrus says.
Latham huffs before stealing my son from my arms again.
“God, that looks strange. Aren’t you meant to be some evil badass? I thought demons are evil, yet here you are playing nanny to my son,” I say.
“You just eat. I like kids,” he says, stroking my son’s nose with his index finger to put him to sleep.
I finish eating my dinner before changing Eason and putting him down for a nap. I’m about to head back out to the living room when a warm chest presses against my back.
Hands grip my hips before I feel his lips on my neck. Eli’s scent wafts to my nose, and I turn around in his arms before wrapping my arms around his neck.
“He just went down,” I whisper to him.
